Gotta agree with you. I've really like the C6 and this one is just icing on the cake.

So what's a stocker weigh? Is that a big drop in lbs?

The Z06 officially weighs 3130 lb (1421 kg), giving it a power to weight ratio of 6.2 lb/hp (3.8 kg/kW or 361 bhp (269 kW) per tonne).
200lbs for the mild reduction,
300 LBS for the 'optimized' reduction. This thing has got to
fly!

With this car, I do believe I've officially developed respect for the Corvette. I always knew it was a good set up, but couldn't get over their typical demographic. This kills that point though.
Official judgment: rockable.

Moist worthy?
To put this weight loss in perspective:

So thats what Porsche calls a weight loss, huh?

Fluids are my bet. Gasoline is pretty heavy!

Well most of those ~40 lbs are off the drivetrain. The interior differences in the GT3/RS are VERY minimal. Those vettes have more CF weave than queen latifah!
Still, I'd rock both! To put vettes into perspective, mine with a full tank and me in it weighs 3380

yes, with a freaking jungle gym, my vette is 3200lbs... I'd love to see a GD subaru do that!
